Carl Linaeous created a binomial classification system in which to organize all living things. All organisms fall within these hierarchical categories;

Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > species

When referring to a single species typically the Genus species name is only given. It is important to italicized both words and capitalize the genus name while having the species name all lower case.
